WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent. ]

WASHINGTON, IL. y. aug, 10, 1907
In every annual legislative appro-
priation bill Congress itemizes every
thing it can possibly think of, even
to oil, Irvine, wrapping paper, &C.,
appropriates the estimated amount
to meet all these expenses, and then
it Jumps III under the head of ''con-
tingent miscellaneous items" about
$50 900 every year. This amount
is seldom adequate TO meet the call
and nearly every session appropri-
ates an additional amount, by joint
resolution, of from $4,000 to
$50, 900. This fund is under con-
troll OF the Committee on Accounts,
who certify to the disbursing officer
what bills shall be paid, the COM
mittee being the sole judges as to
the legitimacy of the expenditure.
Under this head is dumped in the
funeral expenses of deceased MEM
bers. How this idea originated OF
buryiug members at public expense,
1 have not been able to fully as
certain, but l have searched the re-
cords somewhat carefully, and find
it has been the practice from the first
Congress, which met March 4th,
1889, until the present time, and
has grown in enormity from less
than $500 in the first instance to
nearly $4,000 in quite recent
case. Among the items in this in
stance that aggregate 50 much, are
an expensive coffin, sashes and
gloves for the escort, daily papers
and kilograms on the journey, mag
nificent parlor and dining cars, por-
ter tips, choice cigars, and liberal
supply OF "Appolonaris WATER"
which rightly interpretated means
anything drinkable that the palate
may crave or the force of habit call
for. III this were an insulated case
it might be treated with impunity,
but find in looking up the record
that 90 Senators and IT'S Represent
atives have died during their term
of office and been buried at public
expense Is it not time to relegate
the customs to the shades? Political
life in Washington is very precar-
'ious, and often results in personal
ruin and humiliation. This is by
no means the rule, but the instances
are of such frequent occurrence as
to excite public attention. There are
hundreds ofabsolute political wrecks
in this city, men who have been
high up in pc litical and social stand
ing, but from various untoward in
fuences are now way down at the
foot of the line-ambition, money,
friends, all gone. I know of four
ex-Congi essman who are now on
the laborer's roll in the Depart
ments; another a 81 200 clerk; an
other, who not ten years ago was
brilliant on the floor of the house,
is serving as messenger in one of
the Departments. The list of polit-
ical bankruptcy is long one, and
the ranks are being daily augmented.
Elaborate preparations are being
made by the physicians Of this city
for the reception and entertain
ment of the Worlds Medical Con-
gress, which is to convene here on
the 9Th of next month. The gath
ering will be one OF the most not
able of the age, and every State and
Territory in the Union and every
civilized country on the face of the
earth will be represented in this
Congress. R.

Persian jewelers. Of Wonderful skill.

The g~oldsmiths' and jewelers. shops In
Persia present little attraction to the ey G.
Perhaps there is a small glass case con
tanning a few of the less costly objects,
but the owners are not wealthy men, and
keep little or no stock, merely working 10
order. The artiliCer, with his one or two
grimy journeymen and perhaps a couple
Of apprentices, may be seen hard at work
in the open air from morning till night.
There they sit in the little brick arChway,
with a tiny furnace of live charcoal, at
which the youngest apprentice is seen
blowing with primitive bellows made of n
goat skin. Their tools are few and rough,
but their work is invariably original.
With the silversmith it is another affair.
So common is the use Of silver that it is
hardly looked upon as a precious metal.
The Persians are particularly clever in
both incised and chased work, and III re-
pousse work Of the highest class. The in
cised work resembles the best Of the
Scinde work, with which the recent indian
exhibition has made most OF us familiar.
AS for chased work the Persian is inimit-
able. Every artisan is prepared To pro-
duce scroll work and tracery strikingly
original. Many a ragged workman can
turn out representations OF men n ami
mails in molten, wonderful little groups,
battle scenes, hunting scene and repre-
sensations of birds, fruits, foliage n
flowers. Engraving upon metal, III fact,
is carried in Persia to its highest per-
lection. Pipe heads, water bottles, basins,
ewers and even spittoons are often made
Of silver and sometimes Of gold; horse
furniture and stirrups, trays, dishes,
sword hilt and scabbards, dagger and
knife handles, boxes and mirror frames,
drinking cups and goblets, as well as tea
urns and services, are ordinarily made of
the precious metals. Every villager has
his silver mounted pistol; the stock Of his
gun is often ornamented with silver
plates. No lady, however poor, would
think Of wearing aught but ornaments of
the purest gold. Silver ornaments are
only worn by the poor, the women of the
wandering tribes and by negresses.
Coral, too, being out of fashion, is rele-
gated TO slaves.-Jewelry News.

Glory Of Modern Chemistry.

Prof. Bolton expresses the opinion that
the browning glory of modern chemistry
is the power Of producing in the laboratory
from Inorganic matter, substances identi-
cal with those existing in the vegetable
and animal kingdoms-it being known
now that the same chemical laws rule ami
mate and inanimate nature, and that any
definite compound produced in the former
can be prepared by synthesis az soon as its
chemical constitution has been made out.
